Hebrews 7:25-28

Priesthood with a superior priest -- Hebrews 7:25-28: Jesus has the power to save. "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." (Hebrews 7:25) He is able to save to the uttermost. He does not abandon the work midway; He does not begin the work of salvation and then leave it unfinished because of death.

The only priest that could be suitable for our reconciliation to God would be one who was perfectly righteous in his own person. He would have to be righteous or He could not be a propitiation for our sin. This was the case with Jesus. He was so holy that He needed no sacrifice for Himself, and all that He did was in behalf of others. The great foundation of our faith, and the main thing upon which our consolation depends, is that our High Priest is The Son of God, and His everlasting continuance in this office is secured by the oath of God.
